Breast pump advice

Question

Just contacted my insurance...they cover Medela, Ameda, and Ardo Calypso. Has anyone used these brands? Recommendation or advice? Thank you!

Answer

I have the cordless Medela and I absolutely love love love it!

Answer

These are all going to be base level
Pumps. They may totally work for you if you end up mostly breastfeeding. I would just say if you end up needing to pump more invest in a higher grade pump. I recommend the spectra. I got sent home with a hospital grade madela ($2k pump) and after i returned it has my free Ameada and it was not comfortable or powerful enough for me. I own both the Spectra and the Willow wearable pumps.

Answer

Look at replacement parts, spare parts, and bottles that attach (not necessarily for feeding, just pumping into) for each pump. No one tells you that depending on how often you pump determines how often you need to replace parts. If one pump has parts that are expensive or difficult to purchase, probably not the best option.
